In our present form chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” this life’s ordinary body emits the power of true self, purity, eternity and happiness.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches regarding
the Treasure Tower: “The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The words “four sides” stand for birth, aging, sickness, and death. We use the aspects of birth, aging, sickness, and death to adorn the towers that are our bodies. And when, while in these four states of birth, aging, sickness, and death, we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we cause them to waft forth the fragrance of the four virtues. Nam stands for the pāramitā of happiness, myōhō for the pāramitā of true self, renge for the pāramitā of purity, and kyō for the pāramitā of eternity.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Eleven: The Emergence of the Treasure Tower (p.90) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Opening our lives chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” daily life itself is the substance of transformation revealing highest potential each moment.
